37 .Nd printer/plotter accounting information
50 reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number
51 of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices)
52 of paper consumed by each user, and printing out
53 how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
55 Options and operands available:
56 .Bl -tag -width PPprinter
57 .It Fl P Ns Ar printer
58 Accounting is done for the named printer.
59 Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or
60 the value of the environment variable
64 flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the
65 output is sorted alphabetically by name.
67 flag causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This
68 allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing
69 charges grouped together.
73 is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02
74 or the price specified in
77 Reverse the sorting order.
79 Accounting information is summarized on the
80 summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a
81 busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
83 Statistics are only printed for user(s)
85 usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
89 formats the output into simple table, using four columns - number of feets
90 or pages (column "pages/feet"), how many copies were made (column "runs"),
91 total price for this print (column "price") and user login with host name
92 (column "login" or "host name and login"). If argument
94 was not used and hence
96 is printing information for all users,
97 a summary line with print totals (runs, pages, price) is appended.
101 on other system might print the price as price per copy.
